The first day of surfing for the 40th year of Easterns was very fun. Everyone was in good spirits and happy to be sharing waist to chest high waves with glassy conditions. Mid day, the wind came on a little bit and started to chop the waves up a bit. The masters division got the best conditions of the day for sure.
After Rodrigo and Jimmy's heats, we went up to a spot beyond Avon but the wind had done it's damage and we heard the inevitable, "you should have been here yesterday" remark from a couple of people. We just laughed and loaded the rv to headed back to the house. The evening was filled with motorized skateboard rides, libations, laughter and a great bbq with friends.
